Oleg Tolbanov is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Oleg Tolbanov rather than just read about it. In short: Oleg Petrovich Tolbanov (born 3 February 1947 in Tomsk, USSR) is a Russian physicist, specialist in solid state physics, solid-state electronics and physical materials science. He is the author of more than 160 scientific articles in the Web of Science database (Hirsch Index - 15), including: monographs, 5 textbooks, more than 60 inventions.

Key takeaways

Oleg Tolbanov belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Oleg Tolbanov to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Oleg Tolbanov from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Oleg Petrovich Tolbanov (born 3 February 1947 in Tomsk, USSR) is a Russian physicist, specialist in solid state physics, solid-state electronics and physical materials science. He is the author of more than 160 scientific articles in the Web of Science database (Hirsch Index - 15), including: monographs, 5 textbooks, more than 60 inventions.

Early life On 3 February 1947, Tolbanov was born in Tomsk, USSR.

Education Tolbanov graduated from school in 1965 and entered Tomsk Institute of Radio Electronics and Electronic Engineering.

Career In 1966, Tolbanov was a member of the avant-garde brigade of the Tomsk student construction team participated in clearing the site for construction of the capital of oil industry, the city of Strezhevoy (Tomsk region).

From 1970 to 1974 Oleg P. Tolbanov worked at the Research Institute of Semiconductor Devices (Tomsk), rising from an engineer to a leading designer. From 1975 to the present time Oleg P. Tolbanov works at Tomsk State University. Under his leadership, the Scientific school and Laboratory of Functional Electronics were established, in which work is carried out related to the study of patterns, development of semiconductor doping technology with impurities with deep energy levels and building of structures and devices based on it. In 2016, thanks to the developed detectors, they entered the ATLAS experiment group, which is searching for super-heavy elementary particles, such as the Higgs Boson, at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). Previously unknown scientific facts were discovered: – marginal compensation of GaAs with chromium impurity, which makes it possible to achieve a specific resistance of more than 1 GΩ * cm (higher than in its own semiconductor); – corrugation of the energy bands, leading to formation of recombination barriers, allowing a more than 100-fold increase in the lifetime of charge carriers in a compensated semiconductor. Tolbanov is the head of Laboratory of Functional Electronics at Institute of Smart Materials and Technology.

Personal life Tolbanov is married and has two daughters, Anna and Lyudmila.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Oleg Tolbanov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Oleg Tolbanov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Oleg Tolbanov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Oleg Tolbanov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Oleg Tolbanov

In research: Oleg Tolbanov appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Oleg Tolbanov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Oleg Tolbanov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1947 births, Living people, Russian physicists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Oleg Tolbanov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
